Cool this is something i'm planning to do with a scapper i've got, but i'm going to do a shorter one cutting just in front of the rear doors and taking the roof off. Have you got any other pictures preferably of the front A frame section?

 

[kyro]

i have a long drawbar as i'm putting the esky and spare wheel and gas bottle on it

Nice, I wish I had a locking, covered, offroad capable trailer.


Shoot, you can bring an air mattress and simply make that your sleeper too.

Dude,

I've been planning that very same thing for years. I was going to use an MJ bed though. Cut it off and throw a camper shell on there. But seeing that I just might do an old XJ trailer. Hmm.

How did you do the Hitch? Regular? Or a Hook and Pintle?

Are the side door windows openable?

How long did it turn out to be?

I'm hoping to get a car hauler trailer for those long trips, so I need to know how long a trailer I'd need to fit the Jeep and off-road trailer too.

Yep thats the plan as it has storage under the bed already as the guys sleep in it on there trek around OZ, and then i'm going to pop a tent on the roof as well

i'll have to measure it again as i have lost the paper i had it down on so will do tomorrow

 

[Grumpy]

Thats pretty neat,....I think I might making one sometime down the road

Wow...I'm guessing Sven didn't want to bother with shipping again?

Trailer looks good Kyro.

[rocklandxjer]

??? you cut up the XXXpedition xj for a trailor? why?

looks good though, i like the looks

 

[xrayjeeper83]

He cut it up cause it was falling apart, reason it was sold to start with. From what I read else were the roof was coming apart for one, and it would never pass inspection in england
